If you're running a small business, then brace yourself: Taxes are going up again this year. But there are things you can do about this, if you act now.

But, you say, taxes went up in 2013! And yes, you are right: Medicare, capital gains, dividends and personal rates for many increased. A new "unearned income" amount was levied on passive earnings like interest or the sale of your primary residence. The ceiling for itemized deductions was raised. This is all true. Unfortunately, there's more coming this year.

The Democrats’ push to hike the national minimum wage is merely the crown jewel in the so-called “fair shot” agenda that they hope will erase ObamaCare from voters’ minds by the time they hit the ballot box this November; the next action item on their intellectually (not to mention fiscally) bankrupt list is a similarly redistributive and equally lame pander to the young people who have lately been electorally shuffling away from them.

Do the student-athletes graduating this spring after playing in any of the 351 Division 1 basketball programs have a better chance finding employment in a job related to their major or on a professional basketball team?
